Hello people,
I was able to snag my first pair of magnetic planar headphones from eBay.
I got the Audeze EL-8 closed for US$240 S/H included (used, of course)
I was trying to find a cipher lighting cable to match the discounted Audeze iSine 10 from Adorama, and I bumped into this which looked more attractive than dealing with IEMs.
I know they are not in oratory1990's list of measured headphones, but they were measured by @solderdude, and they seemed well behaved.
I quote: "The EL-8 closed (Titanium) is a headphone that measures quite well. Almost exemplary."
How should I approach creating an EQ profile for them? What should I read?
Apparently, they could use a filter around 5 KHz, but the Audeze app has fixed 10 band EQ (I plan to use them with the cipher cable while mobile)
I found additional measurements here https://reference-audio-analyzer.pro/report/hp/audeze-el-8-closed.php
I am willing to do the leg work and learn how to brew my own EQ, but I guess could single out different instruments, know their frequency range and start modifying the frequencies that don't sound right?
